    Fairly certain both sets read Germany on the bulbs.

    I put Ultra's in my truck when I bought it. (3+ years now) The Mexican bulbs lasted a few months....After 3rd set, someone told me about German bulbs being better. I went to Advance Auto and paid about double what Wally World charged. 2 years later, that set is still in the truck.

    Definitely have to watch out for that. Other way is to just order Osram brand. Pretty sure those are all still German-based.

    That doesn't add up. At all.

    In a set of (2) 9003 Silverstar Ultra bulbs:
    Walfart was $44.88
    Autocrap or Advanced are $50 avg
    The zon has em $43, I've gotten them for cheaper on there before

    It feels like Germany is the only place making quality products anymore, my German tools won’t die. Milwaukee tools used to be that way, they’re now outsourced to Fisher Price.

    Head unit. That's it.
    Everything is outsourced. The American dream now is to create a product, surpass all competition in quality, force said competition to buy your company for large sums of money, and sell yourself and company out for the foreign money, while retaining the look of the original product.

    Honestly, probably not much of a choice, because not enough people are willing to pay top dollar or more for quality products on a consistent basis. Therefore before your sales drop, you need to sell for top profit.

    Basically, build a brand, sell it for profit. We don't make products, we create brands.
